ooh new Chromeo. I can’t help it, the dancing is pretty tasty in their newest vid:

the first time my friend Gabe played them for me I thought they were an old school band, they remind me a lot of the old school electro funk I would hear my friend Ira playing at the time. Kano, Klymaxx, Sylvester, etc.

And thank YOU, New Wave! The jams at Pretty Penny were fantastic today, almost my favorite part. Sir Justin was behind the counter and responsible for ringing up my cool new animal print dress and bumping the ipod jams that made it all so good.

Oh yessss, the Layover is one of the freshest spots in Oakland, y’all. The sound is good, the spot is cozy, the peoples is nice, and the cocktails are slammin. Come see for yourself next week, won’t you? Let’s smoke up the dance floor. See you there.

I’ve been in love with my Hot Chocolate records for a while but had no idea that this sad pretty ballad existed. Their early stuff is pretty smooth and string-filled. Like Brother Louie (with guest vocal by the excellent Alexis Korner). But most of the stuff I play by them is decidedly disco…and VERY dancey.

Alright, thanks to everyone who came out to the Oasis last night for KC Bull’s bday bash, your dancing was amazing. Next time I spin at the Oasis is on Ladies Night February 4th, I’ll keep you posted. Have a dry and excellent Wednesday, all!
